Hello my loves, I haven’t posted to this account in a long time, unless you count the joint posts with my writer-musician account . I’ve been thinking a lot these days about how I have a tendency to put myself down and to self-sabotage any attempt at pursuing my true interests by abandoning my efforts. Even though I’m a certified copyeditor, I still feel afraid of reaching out to people to work with, and even of calling myself a copyeditor. That’s all going to change this year. For the time being this might be a “side hustle”, but it is the kind of work I care about the most and the only job I truly ever dream of doing aside from being a writer myself and a singer-composer. Let’s harness this new year and go after our dreams, without caring for other people’s opinions.

I've been thinking I haven't posted in a while, so here I am! This is my favorite little space on instagrma and ironically the one I update the least. I hope you are well 🌻 I've been focusing on many things at once; one of them, university. You know I switched from music back into science, and it's been intense. Got quickly reminded of the insane pressure science students are under and why I had left that path in the first place. I even said at some point I hated this path (honestly I say it often, not going to lie 😅), but that's not entirely true. That's just a response that comes from frustration; it comes from the demands I'm under, and the stress I inflict on myself balancing my studies and my work as a writer and editor. My passion lies with creating, with writing, but we all need something stable to count on to meet our financial needs, and for me, my choice was always in the medical field (pharmacy). I was always good at math and science, so choosing this path as my "day job" was logical and a natural consequence of my personality and gifts. I have to stop thinking of myself as "burdened" by all the demands surrounding me as I'm focusing on finishing my studies, and think of myself as "blessed" for even having the opportunity for education, and for having the blessing of getting to choose my path in the first place.
Hopefully I will post more regularly here again. But I will never pressure myself for social media, though.
News update about that poetry book Pagan Light Publishing is releasing next month: currently working on interior and cover design, but the project is complete. The name was changed though! I will share about that soon. 🌟
Blessed be,
María Pagán

Good morning friends, just here to share a small update. Pagan Light Publishing has a small poetry project planned for October. Hopefully I can get it running in time.
Have a blessed day ✨

Sometimes, could be a message from Spirit. Listen to it; if you strongly feel like something's wrong, it may not be just a feeling. I've learned this the hard way.

Something I need to keep in mind. I can't help to feel guilty, and even anxious, if I'm not being productive. I have to take a moment for myself, and remember why I'm here: I am here to experience, to exist in this present moment. Rest does not equal laziness.
Blessed be,
María

Have my blessings on this Tuesday morning. I feel balanced, entering this week, and I want to share these feelings with you. There is good energy in the air, right now, waiting for you to harness it. Let it in, and allow it to influence your day in a positive way.

How do you manifest your goals into reality? That is the question many of us have when first introduced to the law of attraction, and other spiritual beliefs/paths where we discover that we already hold the power to shape out reality, within ourselves. One thing we can do to manifest is to focus our mind in one specific goal. The more specific, the better... Pour your love, all your heart into it, and work on it with a positive mindset. It might take a long time, or maybe not even so much, but eventually, you will see your dreams and goals start to take shape in reality. ✨
Focusing on only one goal, that is the hardest part for me. But I've been focusing my mind on that which I love most, more and more, and I have manifested beautiful outcomes, so I can say, this works... we can manifest our dreams into reality.
See you soon,
María 🌻

It's so important to take some time for yourself. To get to know what you want, what you wish for, who you are. It's important to take some time to be with yourself. Every day, but especially when you're healing.
I had such a terrible experience the other night. PTSD is not fun; I am struggling to sleep and I keep replaying the scene of what I experienced through uninvited thoughts, even when I'm distracted doing something else, and I hope this wave of negative emotions and fear and sadness vanishes soon. In the meantime, I will be patient with myself and observe my feelings, knowing fully that, I am not defined by these emotions and I am not them; I am the soul that experiences them, and this will not be permanent.
Blessed be,
María 🖤

When experiencing difficult times, it helps me to remember all that is good in my life; things that I feel thankful for and that I recognize as blessings. I hope these words help you through healing.
Blessed be ✨,
María 🖤

There is no wrong way or right way to find your spirituality. It's a journey full of trial and error! Full of ups and downs! Sometimes we think we've finally found the answers, only to have a brand new set of questions at the end of the day, and that is all okay. We're here on a journey to find ourselves, and it is constantly evolving, changing... ✨
Have a beautiful day, and I will see you soon,
María Pagán

Hope your day has been wonderful 🌸

I know this for a fact. 💜
I'm still a work in progress, but I've started doing more and more of what I wanted to do for way too long; things I stopped myself from doing because I worried what other people would think of me, how they would see me, etc.
Let's learn to live "rent free" in the minds of other people. If they want to judge, and the way they want to judge, is none of our business. Our business is to be free the way we want to be. 💖
I've steadily stopped caring about how others see me and it has really improved my experience of life. I have only one life to live and I want to try out all of my dreams. Nobody is allowed to live my life for me. I'm here to be free. ✨

We have to trust our power. 💖 Believe that you have power, because you do. ✨
I don't like how disorganized I've been lately. Partly it has been because my big efforts have only been yielding small results. Nothing I was doing felt like it was enough. But I realize now that I had only been focusing on the wrong thing and putting unnecessary stress and pressure on myself. Do things because you enjoy them genuinely, not because you expect something out of it. When you stop expecting an outcome from your efforts, then you will start really seeing results. That's something I learned with my recent experiences.
Have a great day, and be blessed. 🌸

This is my first time sharing my poetry. I wrote this poem around July 2019. I hope someone out there likes it and finds something in it. 😊
(I hope you can read clearly, since I took a screen shot to be able to share it here. If it's not clear, I can re-upload.)
I never shared my writing before, especially my poetry, because it just feels too personal to share. But I'm feeling braver now after certain experiences in my life. I wouldn't like it if my poetry remained hidden forever and no one ever read it just because I was too embarrassed thinking about what someone else would think, especially the people who know me 😅 Maybe sometimes I think "x person will think I'm weird and cringe" but what does it matter if they end up thinking it? I have to do what my heart wishes and ignore those ideas. I think that, if you create something and you know in your heart there is value in it, you should show it and be proud and happy with what you create, regardless of what others will think, about you and what you do. ✨
